"is a billion U.S. dollars (in revenue) Indian software house". Come on now. - [[User:Jerryseinfeld|Jerryseinfeld]] 03:56, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)
* it sounds like hitting billion $ revenue is a big accomplishment - language should be changed. Wonder if anyones maintaining this page or would like to discuss.
I agree ~[[User:aakkshay|Akshay]]
This and other related articles maintained by this wiki-india thing is nothing but complete and utter PR. Wikipedia should have a banner for such nonsense.- anon
==About Student Program==
Infosys currently has a student program in place called Campus Connect, for college students. I don't know much about it. Someone who knows can maybe put it up somewhere in the article?[[User:Jam2k|Jam2k]] 14:58, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)
Infosys training in college campus or infy campus?
Training is in the Infosys campus. They have three to four months training at the end of which the trainees are posted to various offices.
== toliets/lavatories --> amenities??? ==
... "The campus provides amenities like toilets, lavatories, ATMs and bank extension counters, one of the largest gymnasiums in Asia and a mini golf course among others" ...
Are these the most wonderful amenities? - or the most wonderful basic needs of a well functioning office?
Further, the gymnasium is definitely not the largest by any means.
I agree. Maybe they use weights there to exercise their minds. !!

'''Oye Uncle!!!'''
I would like to comment on infosys' recreational facilities. To summarize, i would say, most companies have none. Consider for example, Infy's very agressive competitor - CTS
A person doesnt know what he has in his hands till he's lost it.
== Basic Amenities? ==
I dont think a very good gym and a swimming pool will be a basic amenity for each and every company. The infosys campus in bangalore is one of its kind in the world. It has all the facilities like a well maintained cricket ground, football ground, basketball, Vollyball, snookers, pool, table tennis etc.., The cricket ground in the Mysore campus of Infosys is maintained by none other than our ace indian medium pacer Javagal Srinath. The bangalore campus have a variety of buildings, which are one of there kind in india. Please see the campus and the facilities offered by Infosys before passing on any comments
:You're right, the campus has extremely good facilities, but saying that it has facilities like lavatories/toilets just makes it sound silly. One of it's kind in the world? I'm sure likes of Microsoft and Google have pretty impressive campuses too. Please stick to the facts, this is an encyclopaedia, not a place for Infosys .
::'''I agree'''. Wikipedia articles are read all over the world and a worldwide perspective will be perhaps more agreeable than an ''India'' or ''Infosys'' perspective. [[User:Sachindole|doles]] 13:41, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
== PCS stands for Patni Computer Systems - not Patni Computer Services ==
Doesn't matter which ever way one might call it.
== totally overhyped ==
Seriously, all these "amazing" qualities about Infosys are nothing special by standards of a successful US company. In fact, after reading up on Infosys it seems the entire company is seriously over-hyped. I'm sure Infosys is unique in India, and therefore it makes for a good motivational story, but it appears to be nothing more than a fairly boring computer consulting company. It ain't no Apple, Microsoft, eBay, Google, ... the list goes on. [[User:Jawed|Jawed]] 08:41, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
:OK... So nobody is saying that Infosys is in the same league as Microsoft, eBay, Google etc. And as the guy below said, it is a service provider. Given the amount of resources available to it, Infosys' achievements are remarkable. Had Infosys been an American company it wouldn't have been a big deal, but the fact that it has achieved so much being based in a developing nation, makes it special. I am sure if the founders of Infosys were Americans and had all the resources Americans have, Infosys would have been as big as Microsoft, Accenture etc.
:: I do not think the article is overhyped at all, it just lists the facts ..and FYI Infosys is not similar to the IT companies listed above..its similar to IBM or Accenture.
==You're correct==
That is because it doesn't aim to be one. For your information, Infosys is a Service Provider.. like an Accenture or an EDS.. Take a look at numbers for the big 5/4, and then look at the Infy numbers.. you'll get a feel for what's behind all the hoopla.. Also, for a more 'global' perspective get Tom Friedman's book!
Cheers
== Tax payment ==
And what about pending taxes to be paid by infosys.
== What Pending Taxes?? ==
Can you please substantiate your statement with some facts?
== Article Cleanup ==
I realize that I am making quite a few changes to the article. So far they are only corrections, formatting and adding references. But frankly this article needs a make-over. I did not want people getting upset over the edits.
# We need some more information for the history section
# Key industries section should come before offices and facilities
# All awards can be moved to a seperate Awards section
# instep, foundation, catch them young - can be consolidated into a section called Initiatives
# I think someone just pasted text from an article for the "Sexual Harassment Controversy". Need to clean this up and trim it down.
# NRN was the serving Mentor at the time of his retirement.
# '''Add references'''
I will slowly work on this. Do pitch in. <br />

=== History info ===
Need help locating some good history info. Can someone point to a source? Thanks. [[User:Rigmahroll|Rigmahroll]] 22:23, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
== Vandalism ==
Someone from this IP (203.199.213.131) is repeatedly editing the article with inappropriate information. Apparently, wants to highlight the sexual harassment controversy by taking it to the top of the page. On more than one occasion, changed the word "professionals" to "asses" and then changing it back again. I am reverting the article back to the October 13, 2006 revision, since no new information has been added since then.
This is a shared IP is used by IIT Madras (as seen in the user talk page). This IP has been block before. I will be voting for another block if this behavior persists.
* and why may I know has this information been kept out of the page. The controversy is still one of the biggest news items coming out of the organization and deserves mention. [[User:Aniket ray|Aniket ray]] 09:17, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
== Flag icons ==
Why is there only 1 flag icon on this page? This is completely inconsistent with pages such as [[Vodafone]], [[Ranbaxy]] etc. [[User:Tri400|Tri400]] 17:49, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
: Actually there are no flag icons next to the key people, simply because they are all Indian nationals. It makes sense to add them if at least one of them is not an Indian citizen. <b><font color="teal">[[User:Rigmahroll|ɤіɡʍаɦɤʘʟʟ]]</font></b> 00:51, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
